Hi, thank you for the response:
On Mac, BibLaTeX should go in ~/Library/texmf/.... (Make sure you put

Ok, everything was where you say.
Biblatex.module was in the ~/application support/Lyx–1.6/Layouts
All the files of the latex directory of the packet I've downloaded
was in
the ~/tex/latex/biblatex directory
biblatex.bst was in ~/Library/Texmf/Bibtex/bst
At this point, in the Readme of Biblatex say
"[…] and the file in the 'bibtex' directory [it refers to
biblatex.bst] to
<TEXMFLOCAL>/bibtex/bst/biblatex/"
I just create this directory and put the biblatex.bst there. Now I
hace two
biblatex.bst, one in ~/Library/Texmf/Bibtex/bst and another
in ~/Library/Texmf/Bibtex/bst/biblatex
"Make sure you do texhash (not "rehash" as you say above);
I'm sorry!. I did sudo texhash, but I wrote rehash in the post. Was
an error
while writing…
I've done texhash and reconfigure, but the module doesnt appears in
the D
ocument→Settings→Modules...
It doesn't work because I have two biblatex.module files or two
biblatex.bst?
Now I'm making the references manually —make a footnote and write
the whole
reference. Copy it into the biliography append, and its OK. And I
can put
Ibíd or Op. cit.!— Works very fine and whithout downloading
anything!.
Really, I need to make the references automatically, I'm typing a
lot of
them, but i don't know what happens with my Lyx.

Antonio
Hi there,
I'm using Biblatex successfully without anything selected in Document-
>Settings->Modules. Perhaps this step isn't necessary? As it happens
I don't have a Biblatex option to select here, just as yourself. (In
fact, I'm not 100% sure a biblatex module was available for download
when I set Biblatex up on my machine a month or two ago.)
I have 'default' selected in Document->Settings->Bibliography and the
following two lines in preamble:
\usepackage[style=chicago-notes-df]{biblatex}
\bibliography{<name of bib file without .bib extension>}
Everything has worked for me with no problems. Chicago notes is a
suitable whole reference citation format - but you'll need to download
the relevant files http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/biblatex-chicago-notes-df.html
. The documentation is clear - put things where it says and it should
work fine.
